Vendor Anaysis:
After analysis, we found that the issue also fails when the host is directly connected to the monitor (tested with two different USB-C to DP cables, both showing the same failure).
The RTS5490 only bypasses the audio and video signals, and no abnormal behavior was observed in the logs.
In addition, we found that different behaviors occur when switching the monitor OSD between DP 1.1 and DP 1.2:
OSD set to DP 1.1:
Direct connection: Pass
Connected through RTS5490: Pass
OSD set to DP 1.2:
Direct connection: Fail
Connected through RTS5490: Fail (same issue reported by Tongxing)
Testing with other monitors does no
